    Fox Soccer Plus

    What some people don't realize is that there is no committed source for HD football (sawker) in the US. To say that this channel shouldn't be added is like saying that the NFL shouldn't have their games in HD. The reason I say this is because there are millions of consumers in the US, from other...

    only hd channels

    I wanted to switch to all HD after Fox Soccer Channel turns on it's HD channel. After reading this thread, it appears that an HD only package will only be available until Feb. 1?

    Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'

    I hate to say it, but I hope ESPN takes the rights in the US, and puts the games on ESPN and ESPN 2. I don't really know if that would happen, but at least those channels are more accessible.

    Star Wars on Cartoon Network HD?

    I assume the sound will be true 5.1 as well?

    very strange...

    This is a software problem that has been talked about on another thread. I don't have the link, but search through the pages and you will find it. You don't have to reboot, just press the format button to get the screen back tot he size you wish.

    Trouble with 610 update and VIP722

    I have the same problem as the rest of you. TV2 has formatted to show Letterbox, and the TV1 picture is a shrunken picture in the corner. However, I have a 622 receiver. Dish barely fixed the FF bug and now this. I wish they would stop screwing with their software and not promise the moon until...

    L5.11 begins rollout to new wave of machines

    I hope they are working on it. I trust they are. I also have no idea what "Dish is watching us" means. That is what some people have said about this. However, I don't see how Dish screwing with the FF button can enable them to watch us. Other than it forces us to rethink how we use the DVR on...

    L5.11 begins rollout to new wave of machines

    I was wondering the exact same thing. If the FF Scan doesn't stop right were it is supposed to, then technically it is different then Tivo. I did notice that ESPN HD is unaffected by the bug.

    L5.11 begins rollout to new wave of machines

    Can you elaborate on this? Scott is mum on the subject. The word is that Dish is "watching us". To me, if they don't fix this bug, it renders the DVR useless and I will jump ship to prove a point. Oddly, when I have watched Euro 2008, the FF Scan bug was non-existent. However, everything else is...

    L5.11 begins rollout to new wave of machines

    It appears my FF problem is only on tuner 2. Tuner 1 seems to be working fine. In the past when software updates caused problems, Sat Guys bitched about it here, and a few days later the bug was cleared up. Does anyone know how we can put the pressure on Dish?

    L5.11 begins rollout to new wave of machines

    I have this exact same problem. I had no idea an update was coming, but when my program would skip ahead, I knew Dish must have tweaked something. It happens for me when I watch my recorded programs, or live TV that isn't quite "live". When I press the forward scan button, then play, the program...

    All locals in HD but ABC

    We have the same problem in Salt Lake City. No ABC HD. Thankfully I have an OTA that picks up ABC HD withouth a problem. However, it stinks for people who rely on E*soley for their locals. SLC was in the first batch of cities to be rolled in years ago when HD LILs were first launched. Does...

    Would you like the sports pack with HD standalone??

    I am very excited for the CL Final in HD. I am sorry, I should have been quicker, I normally am. I was thinking you meant a call screener for Dish for some reason. While Bo Snerdley is one of my heroes, I am not him, although I am named after him. And to think I am a Rush 24/7 subscriber and I...

    Would you like the sports pack with HD standalone??

    Thanks for the info, this saves me a lot of work. It looks like I will stick with *E and hope that FSC switches to an HD feed and that *E adds it to it's HD package. Then I can drop the AT-250 and keep Setanta. No, I am not a call screener. Is there a joke that I missed?

    Anyone enjoying the World Fishing Channel?

    Agreed. It is a wonder that TV is not run by TV people. Anyone who considers these 22 channels as a fantastic upgrade is nuts. I will take a handful of the channels, but when Charlie talks about "compelling content", then lauches the WFN channel; I just scratch my head. Plus, I haven't seen any...

    La Liga Season 2007-2008 on WorldSportHD

    This is better than nothing, but the occasional cup tournament, and the CL final is not good enough. We need to have all EPL games and all CL games in HD. I know this will happen eventually. I am happy that the World Cup and the Euros will be in HD from here-on-out. When I do watch Olympic...

    Would you like the sports pack with HD standalone??

    I agree with the rest of you. The only SD channels I watch is Fox Soccer Channel and Setanta. Once in a while I watch GolTV. I did like the Spanish Premiera on World Sport HD until Charlie decided to add great HD channels like WFN. Basically it has gotten to a point where the general...

    La Liga Season 2007-2008 on WorldSportHD

    This sucks...I just made arrangements today to have my mates over to watch it in HD. The atmosphere of the Nou Camp is lost in SD compared to HD. The prematch build up is worth the price alone. Instead I have to watch blury faces and soft lines. Oh well, all other football in is SD and I watch that.

    I think L446 Broke my OTA Audio

    I have audio with my OTA, however when I try to record from a timer, I lose the audio. I run everything through an A/V receiver, so I never use the speakers on my tv. I called E* and the tech clearly had no idea what he was doing. He was reading a script and entered some info about the...

    Rugby World Cup 2007 Final - What Channel On Dish Network

    I believe why he can't see these channels is because they are PPV. You have to order a program in order to see them. Usually they will show up in your guide with program and ordering information. If he just can't see them period, maybe he has a lock on all PPV channels? If you are in a pinch, I...

    The Mtn. - any new info?

    Unfortunately there is little demand nationally for the Mountain Network. Look at how many had a fit over the Big 10 Netowork. Then again, the majority of people posting about BTN were in the BT region.... I asked Scott if there is any chance the MTN. will come to E*, and what are the hangups...

    rirwin1983 - scam continue

    It sounds as though PayPal is very difficult to work with when it comes to these situations. What other companies do you guys recommend for sending money to someone? I have used PayPal in the past, but I don't want this hassle if the seller is a thief.

    Will you sub to SETA

    If I was a casual sawker fan, I would not sub to Setanta. It seems the casual fans are happy to watch what ever game is on at the time, for the most part. I am subscribing to Setanta because my second religion is Manchester United. The United games that are on Setanta make $15 more reasonable...
